Yeast pitched and run about 64 for first 36 hours or so of fermentation a month ago, then a heat wave came through and our place got up to 69-70 so the yeast was pretty aggressive then stopped for a solid month. Temperature has been pretty consistently at 65-70 in our place in this period. Now...

sorry to potentially go off track on this post but I have a oatmeal stout that had been in primary almost a month that I just noticied some huge bubbles yesterday and transferred it to secondary to get it off the yeast cake. its been less than 12 hours and bubbles are slowly returning....does...

Ok that's all I needed thanks!

Hey guys, I'm a reader more than a poster and have done many a dry hop before but have't quite seen this. See photos...I assume this is potentially hop oil and breakup from the 2 oz. of hop pellets in my grain bag (that sank initially with marbles but managed to float up). This has been in...

That IPA was the only time I'd done and it was supposed to be a Simcoe substitute but it wasn't near as good as the batch I did next go-round with Simcoe in dry hop :) Might work better when building on a Northern Brewer style like California Common with adding a dry hop touch instead of...

I've got an all grain similar recipe with lots of blood oranges brewing right now that will be kegged in a few weeks cant wait!

Lodovico --- I know this is a long time ago but how did your IPA with Northern Brewer dry-hop turn out? I'm doing a little experiment IPA/APA with constant Columbus-Cascade during boil but wanted to do all earthy, aroma dry hops with some leftover US Goldings and Northern Brewer.

Hey have any of you guys added light candi syrup to orange witbier recipes to give it more beef?

Thanks!

...and forgot to mention that looking at lots of older posts its probably cool, partially just for my own sanity.

Hi guys, I've had an IPA that did 2 weeks in primary (2nd week with LOTS of dry hops) and I switched it to a new glass carboy about a week ago to condition for another 2 weeks before bottling. I noticed yesterday that all of a sudden there's white bubblies at the top. Is this mold or something...

Thanks, I'm always very thorough in sanitation and seems to be air tight. I appreciate the comment.

Hey guys, I was doing a hefty Green Flash IPA clone for my 2nd all grain batch and ended up with 1.08 OG and two vials of WLP001 with between 5.5 and 6.0 gallons total volume. We decided to use the glass carboy and of course about 18 hours after the pitch I caught it starting to flood the air...

Here's my bad boy after almost 3 weeks of bottling (did a good 48 hour fridge sit). Forgive the iPhone photo quality. The orange flavor is not 100% but overall its pretty good. I will definitely try a better version of this once blood oranges are back on the market.

Unfortunately I've got nothing for cellaring/lagering except that basement that is about 66-67 right now constantly, otherwise upstairs is 70+ right now. Might just end up with a hazy one, that was why I thought it might help with some dry hops to make it a little more pale aleish instead of a...
